Default SB 14-02-03 superseded by SB 14-02-05 (elev cracks)

Just noted the revised SB on Van's page - answers the question as to whether or not the SB should be done preventatively ... In short the answer is no.

May answer some other questions too.

Default Mothership

I gave the Mothership a call to discuss this "should I/shouldn't I" issue. Tech support firmly recommended I not apply the elevator SB unless I find a crack in the future: The odds of cracks ever appearing are just that low.

However, since I'm still in the build process, they said it is wise to go ahead and apply the SB kit to my stabilizer...just get 'er done. That's my new plan.

Default Crack Found - SB 14-02-05

Found this crack in an RV4 elevator.
A new one was being built already to replace it, but this has increased the pace of that work.

Default Thanks

Thanks for posting this and reminding us to keep looking!
I do not have a -4 but that picture seems to show a custom fabricated gusset?

Default Can't see the photo

Why can some people see the photo, and some can't?

All I see is a gray circle with a white bar in it.

Is your photo from Google Photos in a shared album ?
